    Best part is the last shot of a completely different part of the door.

      exactly not even close to correctly fixing

      And the 2nd best part is the melted 1” circle of original vinyl that’s now highlighting your badly repaired hole like a flaming target yelling at you to “look here!”

      Absolutely, because the damage part after repairing have circle heat mark it make look more weird.

      How to fix 1 mm diameter hole by covering it with a 10 mm diameter thin layer of not matching paint.

      @danielterranova620 Před 3 lety +1

      I'm fucking crying laughing. While he said, "were going to get this metal WARM on this wood." I'm thinking why the fuck is he burning the metal so damn hot!!!lmfao. Im guessing he even waited a min thinking he got it to hot and still went and made the fucking hole worse!!! LMFAO.
      THEN DOESNT EVEN SHOW THE OUTCOME AFTER. "USING THIS BULLSHIT PDODUCT TO CLEAN THE SURROUNDING AREA " LMFAO. OH FUCK ME. I needed this shit today, good shit Bob the Builder!

    Great. You removed the torn part off which could have been glued back into place and replaced it with an ugly ring burn. FAIL!

    That textured paper was a real joke 😂

    Is this a joke? Like tongue in cheek humor? I hope not. Your failure here is of superb quality. Excellent work.

    • @tsh85
      @tsh85 Před 10 lety +5

      I agree. I'd rather have the tiny hole than a huge miscolored circle shape of melted vinyl. It's so obvious that it was repaired.

    I was really hyped at first bc of the brick (looking to make repairs on my own) but man...

  • @loneghostkitten
    @loneghostkitten Před 4 lety +4

    I would give this a thumbs up,
    Just the tool you used to heat the vinyl should have been smaller

  • @benjaminhavrilak8484

  • @rocknral
    @rocknral Před 4 lety +4

    Is this a joke... Imagine the look on the face of the car owner! "Err... That's different... Well, the hole has gone...
    Send me the bill"
    Goes out and buys a "Please remember you seatbelt!" sticker for a buck.

  • @davidsautodetail4704
    @davidsautodetail4704 Před 9 lety +1

    That's call DO IT YOUR SELF. As a car recon tech. Just to repair that hole you need besides to clean the area you need to apply compound or vinyl fill and then iron or heat gun the area using Teflon. And cold block after iron it. And Do, a second step of vinyl fill and come with the texture pad and dye the area. That it. But was a good video too thanks

  • @seanpoet0
    @seanpoet0 Před rokem

    Better to just put a sticker over it.

  • @InClaymont
    @InClaymont Před 2 lety +3

    Wow. What a waste of time on a terrible repair attempt. I think it looks even worse now since you can see a much bigger damaged area now. I have seen vinyl patching that has come out pretty damn good but I would reupholster the door panel before I did this to it.

  • @RadioReciver101
    @RadioReciver101 Před 3 lety

    I have the exact same kit, nowhere in the instructions does it say apply heat to the pattern compression tool. It says it takes one hour to dry apply 3x, so will take three hours to cure all up. What a shockingly stupid video. Dumb is dumb I guess. That is not personal to the video poster but he has consolidated his position by not pulling the video down. Or changing it. Alternatively he has some axe to grid with the producer of the product or the business owner.......

  • @johnmilner7603
    @johnmilner7603 Před 4 lety

    LOL, I saw the hole you failed to fill then you put the camera on a different undamaged area to pretend you fixed it. I smell fraud and a lawsuit. Lies.
